The Chairman of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Presidential Elections Committee, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, (NPP) says the party will adhere strictly to the rules and regulations governing its November 4, 2023 primaries, and will not tolerate any irregularities that were recorded in the August 26 Super Delegate’s Congress.
According to him the party is streamlining and tightening the rules, particularly those governing proxies, to ensure that the primaries are fair and transparent.
“We know there have been a lot of problems about proxies where people sometimes come and no one can really tell until the last minute and we are going to resolve this a month before the elections,” Prof. Oquaye noted.
He maintained that the NPP is committed to ensuring that the November 4 primaries are free, fair, and credible and that the party will win the elections, regardless of who emerges as the candidate.
“In fact, we are streamlining and tightening the rules in such a way that at the end of the day, the NPP will win, and not any particular person so that at the end of the day, it is clear and plain,” Prof. Oquaye reiterated.
The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, former Agriculture Minister, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto and former Mampong MP, Addai Nimo are contesting for the sole flagbearer slot of the NPP to battle the likes of National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) candidate, Mr. John Dramani Mahama come 2024 presidential elections.
